A Wonderful History.

Dr. R. O. Flower spent more than six years of patient study and exhaustive re- search perfecting his great nerve and brain food The success that has attended his eff forts more than compentates the time and labor they cost. His scientific Nerve Pills are to-day the most remarkable remedy known in medicine. They are combina- ton of the finest nutritive clements in the world; they rapidly build up and restore the weakened and shattered brain and nerve power; they do not contain particle of opium, chloral, bromide, arsenic, strychnine or other poisonous drug; they are as harm less as the most healthful food, and in the same way nourish and strengthen the brain and nerves Thousands are living witnesses of the marvellous restorative powers of these pills. They are living evidence of the splendid results that can be achieved by scientific skill, untiring study and patient labor. 100 doses in every bottle.

Fair of the Continentals.

The Washington Continentals fair at the
street Rink was well attended last night, and
large number of votes registered. In the
rattle for the gold watch Mr.. silverman was
the lucky man, and carried of the prize.
At 10 O'Clock a number of Knights of Pythias
made their appearance on the floor and did
much tow ard increasing the receipts.
The fair up to the present time has not made
much money owing to the inclement weather,
and having had 10 compete with other places
of amusement. Capt. Mills stated to reporter
OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN that II had not
received the encouragement which 1t merited,
and had not been given the support OF various
military organizations which was promised
"However," said the captain, "We will pull
through and intend 10 have larger organiza.
ton. We have had to labor under many dis
advantages which we shall avoid In the
future"
Tonight is last night OF the fair, aud all the
donations remaining will be auctioned OFF,
There are many valuable and handsome bar
gains TO be obtained, There will be dancing
lots of nun, and many pretty girls present. The
price Of admission IL only 10 cents.

Thousands of men die every day who might
be saved. Prejudice has murdered many Il
man and woman. If 1t were believed that the
sum of disease could be reduced by physlc
much would be gained. The nightmare OF
death would not frighten us as 1t does. In our
modern civilization we ought reasonably to
expect disease TO settle upon us because we do
SO much TO attract it; because we so often ana so
steadily expose ourselves to 1t. At the same
timewe all oughtto understand. as part ofour
rudimentary education, that to save ourselves
from the effects of such exposure some kind OF
ratification should be built around our vital
forces lest the enemy carry us, as 1t were, by q
sudden onslaught. For many years the I'M
prejudiced have used Brindreth's Pills In this
way and they have proved most effective
wall against the approach of disease. Stop the
daily murders--we had almost said suicides
by using these pills. They speak for them
selyes-as they act When everything else has
failed Brandreth's Pills have saved lives.
They arc to be had at every drugstore.

business in the first few minutes, but tho mar.
ket soon became dull, and so continued
throughout the day. The general list was firm,
and fractional advances were established,
while Lake Erie and Western preferred showed

lowed, and during the afternoon general
heavy tone was noticed. The market finally
closed steady and near to the opening figures.
